The biggest issues with the touch bar, from my perspective:

- It couldn’t be used without being looked at, due to it having no physical keys

- It was always kind of hacky, being essentially a long thin Apple Watch (down to running a watchOS variant) that would occasionally freeze up

I think it would’ve been better received had it been composed of Stream Deck-like display keys powered by macOS itself which would’ve brought much of the dynamicism of the touch bar while also keeping tactile feedback and eschewing bolted-on watchOS-variant bugginess.

Hi Raph! I'm the author of the blog post. I actually read your PhD thesis when I was working on this project and trying to wrap my head around splines.

Yeah in comparison ours is a high-end Bosch model that's just a few years old. It has sensors which supposedly detect how dirty the water is and whatnot.

For us the main kicker was less of the troubling chemicals. We could have lived with the reduction in washing power had those metrics been inverted.

yes, the xcarve was nice but took up a big corner of my garage and honestly I wasn't cutting stuff near 1m x 1m and the ~400 x 400mm of the 4040 pro is more reasonable. It's stable (rigid) but not extremely so. You will not be able to make cuts as deep as you want, and aluminum will be challenging. But it's great for carving up a hunk of figured maple into art, as well as many other workflows.

None of this is really true globally where the main sales falls are indicated. Particularly in Asia there is a huge growth in apps still from ride hailing to social media (TikTok is still allowed there, btw), and data plans are cheap and ubiqutous. Unlimited data can be had for just $30 a month in many countries. Even $10 in some.

What is true-- outside of the US -- is an extraordinary galaxy of Android phones available for every price point from cheap $80 (and quite capable RedMis) to $2000 Samsungs. All with dual SIMs and 1 TB capable SD Card slots.

Maybe people just don't want to pay for expensive and limited hardware (expansion wise), especially where their monthly salary maybe just $500 USD.

> Students can spend more time on optimization, ethical issues, and the user-friendliness of a system rather than focusing on the syntax of the code

And when they land a job in the industry, where exactly are the optimization and ethics when transforming XML into JSON and back again?

I might be in the wrong company, but I see most developers do extremely mundane tasks. At university, they have learned to code Dijkstra's algorithm blindfolded, but they never get to implement it again, because it is already available in a library.

The real added value of a developer is to transform human requirements into code. Transforming the human requirements into prompts, which are then automatically transformed into code is a big win, but I wonder if it will change things at a fundamental level. We are already way too smart for the jobs we do.
Not necessarily. It depends on what predictions those are, I suppose.

This research is all beyond me so maybe someone can explain: How does this compare to the state of the art in using simulators to train physical robots? Does using transformers help in any way or can this just as easily be done with other architectures?

To the uninitiated this looks cool as all heck and yet another step towards the Star Trek future where we do everything in a simulator first and it always kinda just works in the real world (plot requirements notwithstanding).

Although I can also hear the distant sounds of a hundred military R&D labs booting up Metalhead [1] simulators.

Edit: Looks like the previous SOTA was still a manual process where the user had to come up with a reward function that actually rewards the actions they wanted to the algorithm to learn. This research uses language models to do that tedious step instead.

Show HN: Prompt Tower – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks
Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation.

Dean,[371] reported that the majority of North Korean cities and villages he saw were either rubble or snow-covered wasteland.[372][373] North Korean factories, schools, hospitals, and government offices were forced to move underground, and air defenses were "non-existent".[374] North Korea ranks as among the most heavily bombed countries in history,[375] and the U.S. dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs (including 32,557 tons of napalm) on Korea, more than during the entire Pacific War."

> If you are trying to protect a user from going far out of their way to follow instructions they are handed by the enemy you simply can't win.

With software that users install, there's at least the fact that users sort of vet the software they install, and there's a somewhat restricted set of software that is running.

However, even in a fully sandboxed environments like phones we know that users don't read the dozens of permissions that apps require. They just click yes.

However, even when there are attempts at restricting software like Windows UAC and MacOS's security warnings, we know for a fact that users don't read those warning and permission dialogs.

And this is for systems with a rather small restricted set of software.

Where do you put your thumb when you are using arrow keys? Maybe it's my small hands, but I can't use my right hand thumb to hit anything when I'm on arrow keys, and have to rely on using left hand to press modifiers.

So, I use a keyboard with split space bars, and map the right one to a layer switch key, when I want arrow keys I then hold the right side spacebar, and use ijkl (similar shape to arrow keys). Feels like exactly the same [1] as using arrow keys except I don't have to move my hand.

Getting to the canals is a bit difficult if you don't use uber/did or a taxi. We did take an uber down, because the adventure started early, to beat the mid-day heat, but we did manage to take a bus/train on the way back, and only got lost twice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_and_Mouse_in_Partnership#P...

The mouse says "All-gone" and is than eaten because of that. And the first version does not contain the phrase

"And that is the way of the world," the story closes.

at the end, it ends with the cat eating the mouse

I taken up on running and ultra trail running 5 years ago. I also started learning woodworking 2 years agi, using hand tools mostly as I can only practice in my living room.

I didn't have any experience in any of these before and I was not particularly athletic. You only need to find something you want to try, and if you like it try to commit to it for a couple of years.

In my example, I started running when I signed up for a 10k race as a team event when I joined my company, and realized the racing experience was actually enjoyable (regardless of my performance). And for woodworking, I signed up for a 6 weeks course to make a simple box at my local recreation center, and ended up making a couple of furniture or decorative pieces that are not fancy at all but still a lot more interesting than IKEA stuff.

I'd avoid any car with two powertrains, but there are systems that have an all electric powertrain with the ICE being used as a generator instead. It is a simplified system that, if designed correctly, can allow all battery or all generator to move the vehicle.

> I think they're right to be wary, but then again, Chrome shipped this in 2021.

Just because Chrome shipped something:

- doesn't make it secure

Can't say for WebSerial, but when Mozilla shipped WebMIDI they immediately discovered that it was used for fingerprinting (https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931), and Chrome was silently letting sites enumerate MIDI devices on a user's computer (https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730988118867968)
It's the powertrain that's far more apt to be the problem. Hence a plugin hybrid generator style should be far simpler than a system with both an ICE and electric powertrain.

It's funny but that's almost exactly what #15 in the article even eventually states that you can't ignore passkeys because users love them and they will be ubiquitous very soon and also that the article isn't meant to alarmist "it's all too hard" but cautionary "have you considered x?" but they knew writing it will sound alarmist (because of course they wrote some parts of it in an alarmist tone for clickbait/salesbait). Of course #15 ends with trying to sell their product.
